According to "man file" this is due to different magic files
being used:
-i Causes the file command to output mime type strings rather =
than
[...] and makes use of an alternative
magic file. (See FILES section, below).
FILES
/usr/share/misc/magic.mgc default compiled list of magic numbers
/usr/share/misc/magic default list of magic numbers
/usr/share/misc/magic.mime default list of magic numbers, used to =
output
mime types when the -i option is =
specified.
